What is your favourite food?
점수: 86.0제안: 문장이 전반적으로 자연스럽고 정보도 충분하지만 몇 가지 개선할 점이 있습니다. 첫째, 문장 연결을 더 매끄럽게 하기 위해 접속사나 연결구문을 사용하세요(예: moreover, because). 둘째, 의미 중복(‘spicy, slightly sweet sauce’와 ‘chewy texture’는 좋지만 ‘kind of’ 같은 모호한 표현을 줄이세요). 셋째, 문장 수를 3~4문장으로 유지하되 각 문장은 간결하게 하세요. 구체적인 예(예: 특별한 재료나 좋아하는 식당)를 하나 추가하면 답변이 풍부해집니다.
예시: My favourite food is tteokbokki, a traditional Korean dish made of rice cakes in a spicy-sweet sauce with a chewy texture. I especially enjoy it after a long day because the warmth and spice are comforting. I usually eat it with friends at a nearby street stall called Myeongdong Tteokbokki, which makes it even more enjoyable.
What kind of food did you like when you were young?
점수: 68.0제안: 내용은 단순하고 직접적이지만 반복과 문법 실수가 보입니다(‘I I’, ‘pack of it pack of them’). 문장을 더 자연스럽게 만들려면 중복을 제거하고 간결한 연결구문을 사용하세요. 또한 과거 습관을 말할 때는 ‘used to’를 활용하면 더 명확합니다. 구체적 예시(어떤 종류의 사탕을 좋아했는지, 어머니의 반응 등)를 하나 덧붙이면 점수가 올라갑니다.
예시: When I was a child, I used to love sweet snacks, especially chocolate bars and gummy candies. I often ate too many at once—sometimes a whole packet—so my mother would scold me for having cavities or a stomachache.
Do you eat different foods at different times of the year?
점수: 75.0제안: 기본 구조는 괜찮지만 몇 가지 문법과 어휘 선택을 개선하세요(‘on summer’ → ‘in summer’, ‘cold beverage’ → ‘cold beverages’). 또한 ‘on the other hand’는 계절 대비보다 대조를 위해 쓰여 어색할 수 있습니다. 시간 표현을 더 정확히 하고 구체적인 음식 예시를 추가하면 더 자연스럽습니다.
예시: Yes, I do. In summer I usually eat ice cream or drink cold beverages like iced tea to cool down. In winter or on chilly weekends I prefer hot foods such as hearty soups or stews, like kimchi jjigae, to keep me warm.
Has your favourite food changed since you were a child?
점수: 72.0제안: 주제에 직접 답했지만 반복(‘when I when I’)과 문법 오류(‘spicy foods helps’ → ‘help’), 그리고 비유적 표현(‘recharge my battery’)을 좀 더 자연스럽게 다듬을 필요가 있습니다. 이유를 구체적으로 설명하고 linking words(‘however’, ‘because’)를 적절히 사용하세요. 또한 한두 문장으로 간결히 요약하면 더 효과적입니다.
예시: Yes, it has. I used to prefer sweet snacks as a child, but now I enjoy spicy foods more. I find spicy dishes like kimchi or tteokbokki help me relax and lift my mood after a stressful day.

The sentence mixes ideas and punctuation; use a semicolon or separate sentences and add a comma after 'especially' for clarity. Also 'I eat' is correct present tense for habitual action. Grammar problem type ID:6
× When I was younger I really liked sweet things, so I usually ate candies or chocolates.
✓ When I was younger, I really liked sweet things, so I usually ate candy or chocolate.
Add a comma after the introductory clause. Use uncountable or mass nouns 'candy' or 'chocolate' when talking generally, rather than plural 'candies' or 'chocolates'. Grammar problem type ID:5
× I I really like them so sometimes I ate a whole pack of it pack of them and got scolded by my mom.
✓ I really liked them, so sometimes I ate a whole pack and got scolded by my mom.
Fix repetition 'I I', maintain past tense 'liked' and 'ate', remove redundant phrase 'pack of it pack of them' and use 'a whole pack'. Add comma before 'so'. Grammar problem type ID:26
× For example, on summer I usually eat ice creams or cold beverage to cool down.
✓ For example, in summer I usually eat ice cream or drink cold beverages to cool down.
Use 'in summer' not 'on summer'. Use uncountable 'ice cream' for general reference and plural 'beverages' with 'drink' as verb; adjust verb 'drink' to match noun. Grammar problem type ID:11
× On the other hand, on weekends I usually eat hot things such as soup to keep me warm.
✓ On the other hand, on weekends I usually eat hot things such as soup to keep myself warm.
Use the reflexive pronoun 'myself' after 'keep' to indicate the subject is affected; 'keep me warm' is acceptable conversationally but 'keep myself warm' is more grammatically consistent. Added comma after introductory phrase. Grammar problem type ID:6
× Yes, I used to love sweet things when I when I was a child as I mentioned before, but these days I prefer spicy things because spicy foods helps me relieve stress and recharge my battery and I can also forget about my concerns.
✓ Yes, I used to love sweet things when I was a child, as I mentioned before, but these days I prefer spicy things because spicy food helps me relieve stress and recharge my energy, and I can also forget about my concerns.
Remove repeated 'when I when I'. Use singular uncountable 'spicy food' when speaking generally; match verb 'helps' with singular 'food'. 'Recharge my battery' is informal; 'recharge my energy' is clearer. Add commas to separate clauses and include 'and' before final clause. Grammar problem type ID:26
